POtCO "Rocking Our Roos" Pirates Guild

[threeboysmom]

For kicks, I went back and began re-reading this thread. Got all the way up to page 15 and couldn't take it anymore. Wow, Cruise, were we lame or WHAT?!

I swear, we have to be the fruitiest pirates ever to land in the Caribbean

ETA: Since I'm now level 30, I have my very own "easy grabber" in game! Woot!

GUILD EVENT - 8 pm EST Tonight!

Don't forget, we'll be getting together as a guild tonight to help my Mom through her Boss Battle (gee, guess I'd better call her today and see if she's even around, LOL!!)

Afterwards, we can either head to Kingshead with Matty's little secret or we can crew up and engage in some French fighting.

J'espère que vous tous pouvez le faire! Voir-vous ce soir!

There is an entire discussion about the kingshead "bug" on the pirate fan forum. Although rather complicated, it is well worth doing.

Fruity? Speak for yourself---I just dance to my own drummer

This morning I finally had a chance to do a decent SvS battle without all the lag that you get later in the day. A crew is really a must if you don't want to sink over and over again and a War Frigate is the ship of choice.

I broke down and purchase a war frigate: The Savage Queen

My crew and I did not sink once!!! I had two crew members working the front cannons with lightning, fire and fury.

All I need now is a War Sloop and I will have the complete set of War Ships.

Yeah, it's complicated all right, LOL! Matty demonstrated it to me the other night. I think I need another demonstration.

Fruity?? Ah yup!

What happened to clothes shopping on the beautiful island of Padres? You're no fun

ETA: Think your location ought to change to "Last seen at the Boatwright buying every boat I can get my hands on!"

A girl can never have enough ships??? That just DOESN'T sound right to me, Cruise!

Clothes, yes! Shoes, yes! Chocolate, yes! SHIPS?????

Some things I learned about this Ship Privateering from the pirate forum...


Repairing at Sea:

You can only repair when NO ONE is at the helm! Anyone can repair as long as no one is sailing.

Repair Spots - on every ship there will be 3 repair spots. One in the back, One toward the left, and the last toward the right. On the ship HUD you will see a picture of a triangle to the left with 3 green bars each bar corresponds to a repair spot on the ship. The bar behind the triangle (also the smallest bar) is the Back repair spot, the bar on the right is the right repair spot, and the one on the left is the left repair spot.

Now to choose which to repair you want to repair the one with the least health so if you right side is gone completely you want to repair the right side repairing the left or back would be pointless.

To repair just go to the piles of wood, like i explained earlier there is one on the left one on the right and one in the back, and press SHIFT you guy will pull out a hammer and start banging on the wood depending on how much damage depends on how long it will take to repair.

If you are repairing and someone takes the wheel then you will stop repairing.


Inflicting Damage:

You may notice that using a strong cannon will only deal a small amount of damage this is because of Ship PvP's Inner/Outer hull.

The Outer hull is strong hitting it with cannons will do little damage however this hull is a protective layer or "Shield" and once down is when you hit the hardest

The Inner hull is the weak point once you brake the outer hull sinking the ship is easy just aim for the broken areas. If you hit the inner hull your cannons will do Maximum Damage to the ship.

Do not worry if your strongest cannons do little damage to the opposing ship this is most likely because you are hitting the outer hull as soon as you break through though you cannons will do maximum damage

It's a good read.

And.... just bc my post is now getting buried...

See previous post of mine somewhere on page 51.... sigh (yeah, I'm too lazy to link....)

Ah yes, that would have been the EASIER way to do things, lol!

But I went through and picked out the important stuff and saved everyone some work

 

[Iris]

I'm telling ya, I look incredibly tired after I have repaired that ship. It looks like we are all pirate slaves doing the most difficult labor of the ship.

I just get exhausted watching myself repair.....stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke......

Go grab another bon bon, dear. I know it's a "tough day" out there on the high seas

Think I'm going to put my feet up and watch an aerobics video now

 

[threeboysmom]

Woot! We got my mom through Boss Battle tonight! Our very first Roo Rocker to completely finish the Black Pearl quest!

Thanks to ShadowCat for her awesome steering abilities (better than mine... "you're going the wrong way, Pink!")

And a big thanks to my guild members and their furious cannon skills - Petez, Cruise, Matty, and Jewel!

Love you guys!

That was so much fun!! So was the privateering afterwards.

 

[threeboysmom]

Wow! Everybody is so quiet lately! Stop it! I can't stand it! You're all either eating bon-bons or trying to find the looniest red & purple outfit you can come up with

Anyone up for some privateering tomorrow night? Maybe if we work together, we can pass these stinking tasks easier.

Never did I realize how INSANE it is to sink a stupid LIGHT SLOOP until last night! Oh my gosh, this one ship had over a grand in gold and 25 sinkings in a row! How the heck? Oh, did I mention it was a LIGHT SLOOP?????

And do you think Petez and I could take her out even though we were on a stinking FRIGATE and a WAR SLOOP for crying out loud?!!! Talk about wanting to chuck your laptop clear across the room! Grrr....

 

[tinkabellspirate]

Yeah seems the boards went to dreamland. and for pirateering oh ya!! its like a different game all together now. and for the light sloops, one word. {Shrapnel}

I would love to engage in some team privateering!!

 

[bevgray]

Ahoy all, can't promise but I'll try to be there tomorrow. Just depends on how I feel. It's pretty up and down right now. Let me know what time and I'll try to be there even for a short time. Miss you'all so much.

 

[KrazyPete]

Aww Jade, we miss you too! Hurry back!

I'm totally down for some privateering tonight. I can't wait to see you all there!

 

[threeboysmom]

Privateering it is then!

I'm driving!
